Corrosion of Connectors
Two factors are associated with corrosion:

1. Atmospheric action
2. Galvanic action

For atmospheric action to result in corrosion, there must be moisture and oxygen.

Galvanic action results in corrosion when two dissimilar metals in the electrolytic series, for
example, aluminium and copper, are in physical contact. In this case, moisture acts as an
electrolyte.

In such an instance, the copper becomes a cathode and receives a positive charge; the
aluminium becomes the anode and receives a negative charge.

The resultant current flow attacks the aluminium leaving the copper unharmed.

Both factors described above are influenced by environmental conditions - the chemical attack of
airborne pollutants.

This occurs in rural areas to a lesser extent than in urban centres and more so in heavy industry
locations such as steelworks, chemical plants, refineries, etc.

The problem of the mechanical jointing of two dissimilar metals in physical contact with each
other, such as aluminium and copper, stems from their difference in electrical potential.

The column of metals listed here shows their relative positions in the Electrolytic Series, with the
more anodic metals in the higher positions and the more cathodic in the lower.

The extent, or severity, of the corrosive action is proportional to the distance of separation of the
metals in the list. i.e. the magnitude of the difference in electrolytic potential of the two metals,
aluminium and copper, is quite considerable.
Electrical Jointing

Aluminium to Aluminium Connections


No problem exists in the jointing of these conductors as electrolytic action is nonexistent.
Nevertheless, care must be taken to prevent crevice corrosion and to select an aluminium alloy
connector body not liable to stress corrosion cracking.

Aluminium to Copper Connections


The best choice is an aluminium bodied connector since it is not subject to the galvanic attack of
the more vulnerable element - the aluminium conductor. It is good practice to use contact sealant
on the aluminium connector body and brushed into the strands of the aluminium conductor.
Wherever possible, install the aluminium conductor above the copper to prevent pitting from the
galvanic action of copper salts washing over the aluminium connector and conductor when in a
lower position.

Copper to Copper Connections


No problem exists in the jointing of these conductors as electrolytic action is nonexistent.

Electrical Jointing of Aluminium


A particular phenomenon associated with the jointing of aluminium conductors, concerns the
oxide film that forms rapidly on the surface of freshly cleaned aluminium exposed to air. This
oxide film is an insulator and must be removed with a scratch brush in order to achieve a
satisfactory and reliable electrical joint. The problem with aluminium is that the freshly cleaned
surface will quickly re-oxidise, hence it is important to coat the surface with a contact sealant.

Contact Sealants
Various sealant formulations have been developed to provide improved electrical and mechanical
performance as well as environmental protection to the contact area. The use of sealants is
recommended for aluminium to aluminium or aluminium to copper connections. Sealants are also
recommended for copper to copper joints which are subject to severe corrosive environments.
Non-gritted sealants are recommended for flat connections and as a groove sealant in bolted
connectors such as parallel groove clamps. Our gritted sealant is primarily used in compression
connectors. The sharp metallic grit particles provide multi-contact current carrying bridges
through remaining oxide films to ensure superior electrical conductivity.

Contact Sealants and Scratch Brushes


EJC2
Recommended for use with flat, aluminium surface to
surface bolted joints, such as busbar joints & terminal lugs.
EJC2 contains fluoride which, together with scratch
brushing, assists in breaking up the oxide film by chemically
etching the connecting surfaces to ensure a low resistance
joint. Catalogue number EJC2, supplied in 225g squeeze
tubes.

ALMINOX
Recommended for aluminium to aluminium bolted or
compression connections. Alminox contains sharp,
conductive zinc granules suspended in a viscous petroleum
base. Under pressure these granules make high pressure
contact points with the parent metal to effect a sound
electrical connection, whilst the base material seals the joint
to prevent further corrosion. Catalogue number ALM325G,
supplied in 325g squeeze tubes.

ALV300
Recommended for all bolted connections, such as parallel
groove clamps, either aluminium to aluminium, or bi-metal
copper to aluminium. When applied immediately after
scratch brushing, ALV300 seals the exposed surface to
prevent re-oxidation and permanently excludes the future
ingress of air and moisture. ALV300 is extremely adhesive,
resistant to water and has high temperature resistance to
ensure continuous operation under all situations. Catalogue

Electrical Jointing
number ALV300, supplied in 225g squeeze tubes.

Scratch Brushes
The use of a suitable scratch brush to remove any
existing oxide film, dirt or grease from the conductor
is essential to ensure a sound electrical connection.
Dulmison produces separate brushes for use on
aluminium and copper conductors to prevent
transference of metal particles.

White brush for use on aluminium. Black brush for use on copper.

Application
Heliformed® suspension assemblies designed for use with OPGW cable. They reduce static
compressive stresses at the support point and cushion the OPGW cable against the dynamic
stress of aeolian vibration. The combination of elastomer inserts, HSU rods and reinforcing rods
provide protection against bending stress. The cable is progressively stiffened up to the
suspension point by the double rod sets and protected by the elastomer inserts.

Heliformed® Line Fittings
Technical Guide

Overview
Dulmison has been supplying Heliformed® fittings to markets throughout the world for over 49
years. The company obtained a manufacturing licence in 1957, and became the first and oldest
manufacturer of Helical line fittings outside North America.
®
Over the last 49 years, a range of Heliformed terminations, joints, and support and repair fittings
have been developed. The range of application of these fittings is unsurpassed, and provides the
most complete range of electrical distribution fittings of this type.
®
The apparent simplicity of Heliformed fittings, their ease of installation in the field and their
mechanical and electrical conductive efficiencies, belie the design back-up and manufacturing
®
expertise necessary for what are essentially precision products. Heliformed fittings are tailor
made to match wide ranging differences in conductor materials, diameter configurations and
service conditions that vary from coastal climates to hot arid plains.

Design
All Heliformed® fittings are designed to be compliant for use with the following Standards
and or Recommendations;
AS1222.1 SC/GZ Conductors (Galvanised Steel)
AS1222.2 SC/AC Conductors (Aluminium Clad Steel)
AS1531 AAC & AAAC Conductors (Aluminium and Aluminium Alloy)
AS1746 HDC Conductors (Hard Drawn Copper)
AS3607 ACSR Conductors (Aluminium Clad Steel Reinforced)
Heliformed® Line Fittings

®
Heliformed fittings are compliant with requirements of AS1154 Part 3.

Installation
Heliformed® fittings may be installed either by hand or by live line methods, and are designed to
fit on to the conductor for which they are designed, without any question of malfunction or
misapplication.

Colour Coding
®
Colour Coding is determined by the stranding of the conductor, on which the Heliformed fitting is
to be used as per AS1154 Part 3.

Fundamentals
Heliformed® Deadends have two lengths, Overall Length and Applied Length, the latter being the
length from the cross over marks. (See fig 1). The cross over mark, (See fig 2) shows the starting
point for application of the deadend. The colour code at this cross over point is as per the
stranding of the conductor (See colour code page 7-2). An identification tag is always attached to
the loop area of the fitting, and displays the fitting Cat. No., Range of Applications and/or
stranding details.

Aluminium Based Deadends have been designed as a simple and cost effective method of
carrying out terminations on overhead distribution networks incorporating AAC, AAAC and ACSR
Conductors. Their unique single piece design, provides uniform application pressure to the
conductor, and eliminates cumbersome hardware and other components, which may be lost or
damaged during installation or in service.

An entire range of fittings, have been developed, to cover the smallest earth wires, right up to the
largest transmission conductors. Each fitting has a specific application range, as indicated in the
following tables.
Heliformed® Line Fittings

Rated Holding Strengths


On AAC and AAAC conductors, both an ADE and LDE fitting will hold a minimum of 90% of the
ultimate tensile strength of the conductor as required by Australian Standard AS1154.1 - 2004.
On ACSR conductors, an ADE or LDE fitting will hold 60-85% of the ultimate tensile strength of
the conductor, on which it is used.

Copper Alloy Deadends have been designed as a simple and cost effective method of carrying
out terminations on Hard Drawn Copper (HDC) and Copper Alloy conductors. Fittings for smaller
ranges are manufactured from Tin Bearing Copper Alloy wire, whilst larger fittings are
manufactured from a unique Cadmium ‘Free’ Copper Alloy wire.
The material used in all fittings is ideally suited to coastal and polluted conditions, and

®
Heliformed component

The DIS fitting has been designed for terminating insulated aerial service cables of either single,
webbed, 2, 3 or 4 core twisted or concentric neutral screened construction. The DIS fitting is
designed to terminate the service cable directly to the facia attachment on the house, without the
need for a separate insulator. There is no span limitation in normal urban usage of the DIS fitting.
DIS fittings are composed of two compoments, a galvanised, gritted and coated (black)
®
Heliformed fitting, and a non-conductive Neoprene Sheath. The neoprene sheath is wrapped
around the service cable prior to attachment of the Heliformed® fitting, to provide the double
insulating layer.
The DIS fitting provides excellent resistance to UV attack and corrosion, and has been designed
to operate in harsh operating environments, where temperature extremes, and vibration difficulties
are known to occur.

Limited Tension Deadends
Type NDE - Limited Tension - Copper & Aluminium Aerial Service Cables

Colour Code & Crossover Marks

Open Loop A

The NDE is a coated galvanised steel termination, suitable for application over Polyethylene or
Neoprene insulated, aluminium or copper conductors. The coated subsets of each Deadend leg
exert a low radial pressure that does not damage the insulation on the conductor.
Because of the number of variables associated with the rating strength of this type of fitting
(conductor size, number of cores, insulation thickness etc.), it is impractical to imply a rating as a
proportion of the UTS of the conductor. In many applications the strength of the fitting will exceed
the UTS of the conductor.

Application
Protection of conductors against bending & compressive stresses. Protection against abrasion &
arcing damage. Repair of conductors having no more than 20% of outer strands damaged or broken.

Guide to Usage
As the degree of protection in specific situations is affected by such factors as line design,
temperature, tension, exposure to wind flow, vibration history, etc., the following
recommendations are made:

(i) Armour Rods should be regarded as minimum protection for clamp style supports or
suspension arrangements.

(ii) They should be considered as mimimum protection on hand tied, pin type construction
Heliformed® Line Fittings

of span lengths greater than 90M in urban areas, having no history of vibration.

(iii) Armour Rods are not designed to act as vibration dampers. Their role is to provide
conductors with an extra degree of protection at support points. In areas where a
history of vibration is known, or where vibration is suspected, the supplementary use of
® ®
Type SVD Heliformed Spiral Vibration or Dogbone Dampers should be considered.
®
(iv) On pin type construction, the use of Helities are recommended as being superior to
usual armour-clamp arrangements.
®
(v) At suspension points Heliformed type HSU Suspension Units are recommended as
superior to usual armour-clamp arrangements.

Restorative Repair
Armour Rods may be used to restore full conductivity and strength to aluminium, ACSR and
copper conductors, where damage is outside of the support area and does not exceed 20% of the
outer strand layer. Dulmison should be consulted when damage is located at the point of support.
The conductor should be scratch brushed and greased prior to the application of Armour Rods
used for repair.

Tapping
Heliformed® Armour Rods may be used as tap armour to protect conductors from wear and flash-
over damage under hot line taps. Where tapping clamps are to be installed over the Armour Rods
a moisture inhibitor, e.g. Alminox, should be applied. The conductor should be scratch brushed
and greased prior to the application of Armour Rods used for tapping.

Line Guards
Type ALG - Aluminium Alloy for AAC, AAAC & ACSR Conductors
Type CLG - Copper Alloy for Copper Conductors

Identification Tag

Colour Code & Centre Mark

Application
Line Guards may be regarded as a light duty version of the armour rod intended for protection of
conductors against abrasion and arc-over. They may also be used as patch rods to conductors
where damage has occured.

Compatibility
Suited to highly polluted areas and coastal locations when used with appropriate conductor.

Guide to Usage
As with Armour Rods, the degree of protection afforded conductors against abrasion and
arc-over is influenced by such factors as line design, temperature, tension, exposure to wind flow
and vibration etc. The following may be taken as a guide:

(i) Regard as a minimum protection for hand tied spans of less than 107m in urban areas

Heliformed® Line Fittings


with a history of vibration.
®
(ii) It is recommended that Helities be used in place of normal hand tie combinations on
pin type construction.

(iii) Line Guards are recommended where clamp type supports or suspensions are used or
®
where there are hand tied spans of 91m or more. In these situations Heliformed
Armour Rods are preferable.

(iv) Line Guards are not recommended where vibration is suspected.

Restorative Repair
Line Guards may be used to restore full conductivity and strength to aluminium, ACSR and
copper conductors, where damage is outside of the support area and does not exceed
10 - 15% of the outer strand layer. Dulmison should be consulted when damage is located at the
point of support. The conductor should be scratch brushed and greased prior
to the application of Line Guards used for repair.

Tapping
®
Heliformed Line Guards may be used as tap armour to protect conductors from wear and flash-
over damage under hot line taps. Where tapping clamps are to be installed over the Line Guards
a moisture inhibitor e.g. Alminox should be applied. The conductor should be scratch brushed
and greased prior to application of Line Guards used for tapping.

Application
Jointing and restorative repair on conductors of aluminium, copper and galvanised steel.

Conductivity
In all cases - aluminium alloy, copper and galvanised steel - Heliformed® Line Splices will provide
conductivity equal to, or better than, an equivalent length of unspliced conductor. To ensure a
good long term joint, the conductor must be scratch brushed and greased prior to the application
of the splice.

Holding Strength
On all aluminium, copper and galvanised steel conductors of homogeneous stranding,
®
Heliformed Line Splices will hold a minimum of 90% of the ultimate tensile strength of the
conductor as required by Australian Standard AS1154.1 - 2004.

Full Tension Line Splices
Type FTS - Galvanised Steel & Aluminium Alloy for 6/1 or 30/7 ACSR Conductors
Type MSS - Galvanised Steel & Aluminium Alloy for 3/4 or 4/3 ACSR Conductors

Filler rods (when required) Outer splice

Core splice

Application
Full Tension Splices have been designed for jointing ACSR. Two types of Full Tension Splices are
available -
Type FTS - Multi Piece Construction - designed to hold both the inner steel core of the
conductor, as well as the outer layers. This is of particular importance on conductors with
greased cores. Filler rods may be needed on 30/7 type conductors to bridge the gap between
the inner core and the outer strands, for attachment of the outer splice layer.
Type MSS - Multi Strand Construction - designed for installations on 3/4 or 4/3 type
conductors. The fitting is comprised of a mixture of galvanised steel and aluminium strands,
which typically match the number and strength of those used in the conductor.

Rated Holding Strengths

Heliformed® Line Fittings


On ACSR conductors, FTS and MSS fittings will hold a minimum of 90% of the ultimate tensile
strength of the conductor as required by Australian Standard AS1154.1 - 2004. Splices should not
be reapplied after original installation.

Gripping
Damping section section

Application
Spiral Vibration Dampers are designed to reduce aeolian vibration in conductors, generated by
wind turbulence for conductors between 4.4mm and 19.3mm OD.
Vibration control would be recommended in areas as follows:
• In Rural Areas
• Where are normally associated with top tie insulators
• Where spans exceed 107m and/or 15% tension 16oC
• As an important supplemental protection at deadends, also at Armour Rods, Helities®, Side
Ties and similar tangent support hardware

Materials
Spiral Vibration Dampers are made of solid, non-corrosive high impact strength UV resistant PVC
rod. Material withstands ambient temperatures in the range -40o to 70oC.
Heliformed® Line Fittings

Installation
Engineering calculations are unnecessary for placement. The Gripping Section should be installed
approximately 100mm to 120mm from Deadends, Armour Rods or other conductor hardware.
Generally, one Spiral Vibration Damper at each end of a span is adequate. However, for spans
exceeding 245 metres (800 feet), two Spiral Vibration Dampers at each end of the span are
recommended.

Strain Assembly and Bundle Restraint

To secure HVABC conductors at strain or tension points, you must utilise two types of fittings to
secure both the Catenary, as well as the ABC bundle itself.

The Catenary is secured at a strain point using a standard Dulmison Heliformed® Catenary
Deadend of applicable size and type - refer table below.

HVABC Cable Type Cable Size Catenary Catenary Colour

ADE1750 Non Metallic Screened 120 - 185 19/3.65 Alum Alloy Black

The HVABC bundle assembly, must be secured to the catenary so it does not drift into the middle
of the span. This eliminates bird caging, or spreading of the cores.

Dulmison have developed a Heliformed® bundle restraint for this purpose, which is simple to apply
and is designed to avoid damage to the phase cores. The assembly is comprised of two
Heliformed® deadends, which interlock, to tie the catenary to the bundle. The deadend used to
retain the catenary, is designed to be applied over the Catenary deadend as above.

Suspension Clamp

The HVABC suspension clamp is suitable for use on metallic and non-metallic screened HVABC
cables, for voltages up to 22kV. It is designed to accommodate line deviations up to 45 degrees. It
can be used at both intermediate suspension locations, as well as a secondary means of
securing a bundle to the catenary at strain locations. If used in this manner, an IBHR bundle
restraint, as per the preceding page, is not required.

Incorporates UV stabilised semi-conductive elastomeric insert, aluminium alloy strap, high


strength cast aluminium clamp, and stainless steel hardware. Design of clamps, allows for a
minimum of lifting of conductor during installation. Minimum failing load of clamp - 40kN.

Stringing Hardware

The two most widely used Pole Brackets are - SB10312 and IBHPBV. These items are
manufactured from Galvanised Steel and can be either bolted or strapped to either concrete or
timber poles.

Both brackets incorporate a cylindrical mounting tube, complete with 3 hook mounting holes,
which are used for two purposes.
• The middle hole is used to locate and mount a suspension clamp.
• The outer two holes (each side) are used to locate and mount a string roller assembly -
Product No LSR23379, and to adjust its height whilst stringing.

Both the suspension clamp and stringing roller are attached to the tube, using Support Hooks -
Product No HB16200. These hooks are manufactured from galvanised steel, have a minimum
failing load of 12kN and are supplied with washers and nuts. The two outer hooks that locate the
stringing roller, are used to adjust its mounted height for stringing. This adjustment allows the
rollers to be located at a height that eliminates any necessity to lift either the conductor bundle or
catenary for attachment into the suspension clamp.

The SB10312 bracket is generally utilised at a point below the top of the pole, whereas the
IBHPBV is generally installed at the pole top. The IBHPBV bracket has the facility to mount an
insulator on its tope surface to support a bare conductor during retrofit work, so as customer
outages are minimised.

Stringing Roller
Type LSR23379

The LSR23379 stringing roller is a versatile, lightweight and safe product. It is suitable for use on
line deviations up to 45 degrees, and accommodates HVABC cables up to 185mm2 - 22kV.

The deep profile design of the rollers, ensure conductors do not stick or jam during stringing, and
the frame design ensures that the conductor is guided and retained at all times. Its wide entry
design allows for easy application of suspension clamps, and plenty of working space. Its
mounting on support hooks allows for vertical height adjustment, which eliminates the dangerous
practice of lifting conductors to secure in suspension clamps. With a weight of just 9kg, it is safe
for one person to handle.

The standard assembly is used in conjunction with support hooks and associated brackets at
suspension clamp locations, but with the addition of the Yoke Assembly - LSR23857, it can also
be attached to a hook bolt or bracket at the start of a stringing run, where a suspension point is
not required. This allows for the cable to be temporarily supported at termination or strain points,
until tensile loads are applied and strain clamps fitted.

CCT - Strain Clamps and Covers


To secure CCT conductors at strain or tension points, the most common method is utilising a rack
driven wedge assembly. The clamp incorporates a clevis attachment point, and stringing eye, as
well as a clamping bar, to lock the conductor in position once tensioned. The contoured design,
eliminates stresses on the conductor as it exits the clamp. The UV Stablised cover, completes the
assembly, and the makes the strain assembly fully covered. The cover assembly has been
designed for assembly over standard insulators. The assembly is suitable for use on conductors
voltages from 11 up to 33kV.

tree proximity is not an issue ), an aluminium Heliformed® Deadend may be used, over the
conductor insulation, to eliminate the need for stripping the conductor. This system is utilised on
11kV networks only.

CCT - Compression Joints and Covers


At locations where CCT conductors must be joined midspan, a series of compression joint kits are
available. All kits are supplied complete with Raychem heatshrink mastic lined sleeves, to ensure
the joint area is both insulated and sealed. This added sealing slows the onset of corrosion, and
decreases resistance in the joint, resulting for otherwise unprotected rapid oxidation of the
connection. Compression joints are suitable for all voltages of CCT - 11 up to 33kV, and are
compatible with the material of the conductor.

Insulated Earthing Sticks

A comprehensive range of insulated earthing sticks are available, for both permanent attachment
or temporary/removable attachment, to all types of earthing clamps.
Where a permanent attachment is required to create a rigid earthing stick assembly or 3 phase
earthing set, the earth clamps are pinned or screwed to attaching fixtures to join the insulated
stick to the earthing head. Where there is a need to temporarily connect an earth stick to an earth
clamp, a series of standard earth sticks and attachment devices are available. All Earth sticks are
provided with warning labels which include recommended voltage rating clearances, and handling
warning. All Earth sticks are rated at 100kV per foot (305mm).

Aircraft Warning Markers

Aircraft warning markers are most commonly utilised as a visual indicator of a power line,
adjacent to airports, across river crossings, and on mining sites. All markers are manufactured
from UV Stabilised homogenous materials (not coated). Markers are intended for use in
accordance with CAA, FAA and Standards Australia requirements. Markers are available in 4
colours, so as to ensure that a colour is selected that does not blend with adjacent or line of sight
countryside. These aircraft warning markers should not be installed on energised power lines
above 150kV, please consult Dulmison for more information.

Dogbone Vibration Damper

Materials: Clamp - cast of high strength


aluminium alloy.
Bolt - stainless steel bolt
Flat Washer - stainless steel
Spring Washer - stainless steel
Messenger - exclusive Heliformed®
19 strand EHS
galvanised steel.
Masses - high grade zinc.

General Recommendations:
Dogbone Dampers are designed to eliminate conductor
fatigue damage and line maintenance costs by effectively
diminishing aeolian vibration, thereby allowing increased
line tensions. The messenger cable and unique dogbone
shape of the masses are designed to achieve optimal
energy dissipation for minimal clamp movement. The
messenger cable and dogbone weights are matched to give additional resonant modes and wider
effective frequency response. The mechanical impedance of the damper is matched to the
conductor to optimise performance. The offset dogbone shaped masses introduces a torsional
mode of vibration damping not present in conventional Stockbridge type dampers.

The range of Dogbone Vibration Dampers is a development resulting from our extensive
experience and research in the field of conductor vibration control. The Dogbone concept is based
on the known and proven principles of the Stockbridge Damper but embodies improvements
which increase both power dissipation and range of frequency response beyond those of a
Stockbridge Damper. The performance of the Dogbone Damper has been further improved using
the latest CIGRE and IEEE recommended methods including I.S.W.R. Power Dissipation and
Mechanical Impedance Testing.

Radio Interference Voltage (RIV):


Dogbone Dampers are designed to be corona free at all operating voltages.

Placement:
Line Hardware

Due to the many parameters involved and the exhaustive tests conducted by Dulmison for
optimum damper placement and performance, it is recommended that Dulmison be consulted for
exact damper requirements.

Option:
Armour Rods can be supplied for added protection to OPGW Cable. See page 7-16 for details.

Posilok Twin Spacer


with Elastomeric Conductor Bushes

Materials:
Spacer, body, keeper, and Posilok clamp fastener - high strength aluminium
alloy.
Clamp liner - an elastomer compound specially formulated for resistance to
ozone, ultraviolet, weathering, high and low temperature variations and
compression set. The conductor range and part number is moulded into the
inside of each liner.

Posilok Twin Spacer Dampers are available for conductor sizes ranging from
18mm to 35mm and for spacing ranging from 200mm to 520mm. Dulmison
Posilok Twin Spacers have been successfully used for over 25 years in
Australia, USA, UK and many other countries. Posilok Twin Spacers feature
an elastomer lined clamp that minimises damaging static compressive
stresses on the conductor while providing high slip strength. The clamp action
of the Posilok makes this spacer easy to use with the clamp being fastened
by the action of the locking pin. This method of clamping ensures that the
clamp is always properly fastened, with a controlled amount of force exerted
through the rubber onto the conductor.

General Recommendations:
Posilok Spacers are designed to maintain specified subconductor spacing. Furthermore they are
designed to withstand the forces and movements caused by transient conditions such as short
circuit differential icing and wind loading, without either causing damage to the subconductors or
sustaining damage themselves. Dulmison’s exclusive Posilok fastener maintains a clamping force,
independent of the installing lineman. The Posilok clamp design was developed specifically to
eliminate the variables involved with other types of fasteners. When properly installed it exerts a
positive vibration proof grip on the conductor. Correct installation is easily verified from the ground.

The Posilok spacer is flexible enough to allow some longitudinal movement between sub-
conductors, and yet rigid enough to restrain the subconductors under adverse conditions. They
provide a smooth, unitised construction which minimises corona and presents a low level of RIV.
The range of Posilok spacers are designed to accommodate all conductor sizes, all EHV voltages,
and all bundle configurations.

Radio Interference Voltage (RIV) and Corona: Line Hardware


Posilok spacers are designed to have satisfactory performance commensurate with the operating
voltage of the transmission line.

Vibration:
Although the elastomer cushioned housing is designed to minimise conductor damage, vibration
dampers must be used on lines subjected to aeolian vibration.

Bolted Option (Cast Bar Spacer):


Cast bar spacers are available to suit most Australian standard
conductors in twin, triple and four conductor configurations with
spacings from 70mm to 520mm. Cast bar spacers are used in
varying applications in substations such as overhead strung bus
bars and down droppers. They can also be used in transmission
line applications for jumper (pilot) strings.

General Recommendations:
Spacer Dampers are recommended for multi-conductor
bundles with industry standard spacing. The Spacer Damper
is designed to withstand the forces and movements caused by
transient conditions such as short circuit, differential icing and
3 Bundle Posilok
wind loading, without either causing damage to the Spacer Damper
subconductors or sustaining damage themselves. The design
accommodates both longitudinal movement of the
subconductors, vertical sag differences, as well as
compressive and tensil forces. When the Spacer Damper
is installed in accordance with Dulmison’s recommendations
for subspan lengths, it constitutes a system which replaces
conventional spacers and vibration dampers. Spacer
Dampers will control both aeolian vibration and
subconductor oscillation to levels recognised as acceptable
within the industry and to the customers expressed needs.
Dulmison will tailor the recommendations to terrain and
design parameters.

Corona and RIV:


4 Bundle Posilok
Spacer Dampers are designed to have a satisfactory

performance commensurate with the operating voltage of
the transmission line.

Fault Currents:
All of Dulmison’s Spacer Dampers are designed for a minimum compressive withstand load
Line Hardware

between clamps of 1130kg and a minimum tensile to withstand load of 560kg.

Placement:
Due to the many factors involved in designing an effective spacer damper system, it is
recommended that Dulmison be consulted for specific recommendations on both the choice of
Spacer Dampers and placement.

Damping:
Spacer Dampers can accommodate torsional clamp arm movement of plus or minus 13 degrees,
conical clamp arm movement of plus or minus 8 degrees, and longitudinal movement of plus or
minus 38mm. These are possible because of the properties of our elastomeric damping elements.
There are two per arm, one on each side. They are especially compounded to give long life under
conditions of ozone, ultra violet light, anticipated temperature extremes, and continual conductor
motion. Their ability to dampen over many years has been well established throughout the world
in all types of climates.

Screw Anchors
Selection of Screw Anchors

The selection of the most appropriate Dulmison Screw Anchor for any particular application
should be done by comparing the holding capacity of the anchor with the maximum load in the
guy wire.
The maximum load in the guy is determined from the line design, the holding strength of the
anchor will depend on the soil classification and the size and installing torque for the anchor.
Care must be taken in the anchor selection, and the holding strength must be carefully compared
with the maximum guy load, as a poor choice may result in a failure of the anchor.

Soil Classification
The most important factor affecting the holding strength that can be achieved by a screw anchor
is the type of soil in which it is installed. The Soil Classification Table (see Page 13-3) has been
designed to assist in the identification of the soil. However, while a reasonable assessment of the
surface soil type, the holding strength of the anchor will depend on the soil at the depth to which
the anchor is driven. Often the soil is different at this level, as different soil strata may be
encountered in driving the anchor.
The best way to check the holding strength of the anchor is to do a proof loading (pull out) test on
each anchor installation, but this is not always possible nor economical.
Following extensive field trials, it has been established that there is good correlation between the
installation torque and the soil conditions. This means that the holding strength of the anchors can
be determined from the installation torque.
Tables on page 13-4 show the relationship between the holding strength and the torque applied
for several sizes of single and double flight anchors.
Of course the installation torque is only an indication of the soil conditions at the time of
installation. Care should therefore be taken when anchors are installed in hard dry ground that
may become water logged following rain.

Installation Techniques
The holding strength that can be achieved by an anchor can also be affected by installation
technique, and care must be taken by the operator that the soil is not churned by allowing the
anchor to act as an auger as it is installed. This is most easily avoided by keeping a downward
Screw Anchors

pressure on the anchor during installation.

Determination of Guy Loads


The maximum design loading in the guy should usually be available as part of the line design
information and this design load should be used with the rated strength tables and graph attached
to select the most suitable anchor for each job.

Load-Rating Factor
For some loading conditions, however, it may be desirable to use a load rating factor for the
holding strength of the anchor. When the continuous (everyday) tension in the guy exceeds 50%
of the maximum working tension of the guy, there is a possibility that the anchor may creep.
Even though there is no failure of the anchor in the ground, this may lead to relaxation of the guy,
and necessitate periodic retensioning. To avoid this, the load rating factor which is found from
Page 13-3 should be applied to the holding strength of the anchor.

Transmission Line Arrester

Key Features
• HV arrester suspended from a transmission line giving
enhanced transmission line performance.
• Increasing system line voltage on standard insulated
transmission lines.

Benefits of TLA Applications


• Minimising circuit breaker operation with possible
system outage resulting from back flashover on the
transmission line.
• Switching overvoltages are absorbed over the length of
the line reducing the severity of surge at the substation.
• Transmission systems can be operated even where
sub-soil gives poor tower footing resistance.
• Eliminating interrupted power supply for sensitive
industrial processes.
• Installing Transmission Line Arresters on a standard 3
phase voltage system along the line, at calculated
intervals, allows for optimum performance of the TLA,
to give an increased system line voltage.
• Therefore eliminating the need to increase the standard
insulation level required on conventional system
upgrade.
